This is survivorship bias.

As long as the current results are still satisfying, then all the historical pains are just like the scars left on the warriors, and each one can be proudly told as a story and history.

But if you put the same things in front of a warrior again, let him go through the same thing again......

I'm afraid there are very few people in this world who can afford it.

If there is any meaning to suffering, it is the possibility of success behind it. And what about those who didn't succeed?

The scars on the warrior's body are glory, and the scars on the dead...... It can only be called a lesson of history.

Find a primitive civilization at random and show them the history of civilization on Earth for thousands of years:

Tell them to be brave enough to persevere, to be brave enough to start learning agriculture, to build a nation, to start trying to turn people into slaves, to start trying to resist slavery, to start a faith, to start a religion, to start a war, to go to war, to go on and on......

Tell them that everyone needs to work all day and die in famine and war, and that only the luckiest will be passed on in this blood and fire......

Tell them that they will become wiser later, that they will begin to understand the world, that they will try to observe the earth and the stars, that they will try to smelt steel, and that they will make machines for production, self-defense, and killing......

Tell them, start trying to think, come up with one ideal after another, and watch them shatter again and again......

Tell them that after thousands of years of tossing and turning, if this poor civilization has not suffered the doom of destruction because of all possibilities in such a long toss, then it will be possible for them to master some higher standard of living, and they can control everything in the world like a god in the likeness, understand the world and transform it according to their own wishes.

"Even the most confident people will feel fear in their hearts when they hear about such a tortuous course of civilization and progress," Yevgeny concluded, "Why do these flying people want to completely abandon all the technology they have learned? To return to this state of ignorance? Quite simply, because they feel worried and scared about their future......"

"If we take the way of life on earth now, and the cost of many world wars, to the Middle Ages, we will also scare the people of that era out of mental illness. Not to mention thousands of years, when I was 10 years old, if someone told me that I needed to detonate a nuclear bomb with my own hands in the future, I would probably be too scared to eat and grow up. ”

"Ignorance is both the greatest weakness and the greatest wealth for the weak," adds Yevgeny, "but we are now telling them that they cannot continue to be ignorant." ”

"These people must have made a lot of determination to decide to transform all their memories and live in such an environment, and our appearance has pulled them back."

"If you tell them the cause of this crisis and how to avoid it, it means that their 1,400-plus years of Ascension Realm history is a complete waste of time. After a full circle, they were back to where they started – probably a worse one. ”

"IMHO, the way of existence of this transformed civilization itself is fragile, like the way of life of modern man - the more complex it is, the easier it is to destroy."

"Even if they don't destroy these ships again, what about the other aspects? Now that we know that there is a wirelessly powered magnetic field on this planet, and that there are high-energy laser tools - as long as they aim this laser at the outer shell material that envelops the entire planet - maybe they will really do it in the future, haven't they always envied the world outside the universe? They also call it the Void Realm......"

"If they really smoke this kind of wind one day, the whole planet will be like a balloon that has been punctured, and the entire ecology will collapse in the first place. You know, this planet has no gravity source, it's like a soap bubble floating in the air. ”

"Truth be told, the planet itself can exist for more than 1,400 years...... If you count the previous history, it may be longer, and I find it incredible. ”

Yevgeny's statement can be summed up in one sentence - it is a miracle that these flying people have survived until now. As for how they will toss and die next time, only God knows.

In the same vein, Shen Changwen also said that his view is more extreme: "There are too many factors for a civilization to move towards randomness. Not to mention that they are only at the level of earthlings - everyone knows what kind of bird the earth's civilization itself is. ”

"For me, the Earth is the civilization that needs to be saved the most, and it doesn't seem to be safer than this Flying Man civilization. The stock of nuclear weapons on the entire earth is enough to kill the earth's civilization itself a dozen times, and the so-called peace of the entire earth is essentially nothing more than a certain balance achieved by nuclear deterrence. ”

"God knows if a madman will come out and then all of humanity will suddenly go back to the Stone Age. Let them think about the future of the flying man civilization, it's like having a blind man make a map to guide a lame man to walk......"

If it was a few days ago, in the face of the two senior experts in the team, Wu Xiaoqing would definitely not interject when the search and rescue team was not present. Because this kind of topic is completely beyond his control, even if he is really asked to say it, he may not be able to hold back anything.

But now, Wu Xiaoqing has obviously obtained some of his own things and opinions from Rao Xin's materials, and it is difficult to say whether these views are immature - because this is a completely unknown field, in the face of such a problem, whether it is Shen Changwen, Yevgeny, Wu Xiaoqing, or Xu Yan and Wang Youquan, what they say may not be at all related to the truth and reality, and everyone is just relying on their own experience to form their own opinions.

It is not difficult to understand that there is a huge difference between the views, the key is that as the executor of the mission, Wu Xiaoqing knows that there is a truth that is definitely right, which is also what the search and rescue team emphasized to him in the last mission - no matter what kind of problem he faces, make a decision and implement it seriously, this is the most important thing.

And Wu Xiaoqing also knows that in the entire task, the most important executor is actually Wu Xiaoqing himself, and the roles of others are actually cooperating with him and giving him a hand.

This point was decided by the search and rescue team - Wu Xiaoqing still can't figure out the reason, but this fact is already certain.

If it was Wu Xiaoqing in the past, of course he would have been more inclined to Yevgeny and their ideas, because they knew more and were more professional—and their opinions would seem to be more correct because of this.

For Wu Xiaoqing in the past, he could subconsciously unload part of the burden psychologically. But now, after enlightenment, Wu Xiaoqing has understood a truth - there is nothing right about many problems in this world, and there are often only things you are willing to do and what you are not willing to do.

What you are willing to do may not be right, and sometimes you may not be willing to do the right thing.

Since everything has to be done by Wu Xiaoqing in the end, Wu Xiaoqing naturally hopes that what he does is what he is willing to do.

If you follow Yevgeny's idea, after solving the energy crisis, there is really no need to tell these natives anything. - because it is very likely that telling them will be bad.

And don't make any changes to this place - they are not saviors, and they should not be saviors. Their mission should be more of an emergency doctor – they will only intervene if the patient encounters a situation.

In this way, they can avoid a certain moral dilemma to the greatest extent possible, because at their current level, it is difficult to define whether too much interference is helping the civilization or harming them.

In fact, from the previous two missions, the attitude shown by the search and rescue team can already be roughly seen.

The previous search and rescue team took such a way and method - a civilization was in trouble, and they came to the rescue. But more things, they won't stay.

The living environment of primitive people is still harsh, and they need to overcome it themselves; The world of the Kingdom of Elis was already a hell on earth, but what they could give was only the supplies left over from the migration...... Even after these two civilizations were saved, they wished that they would stay in the name of the gods and guide them all the time......

"But this civilization is different." Wu Xiaoqing was facing the entire island at the moment, and the short-haired guest was holding the Void Stone and Qianyang Finger in his hand, and he was operating cautiously.

A thin and bright red light was slowly moving in the air, and in its path, whether it was dirt, rock, or metal, it was gently split into two parts, like jelly crossed by thin lines.

The entire island seemed to be a giant watermelon being sliced open, and a visible crack was spreading from the edge to the center......

Because it is difficult to form the concept of ascending to the heavens realm, Wu Xiaoqing looks at all this happening in front of him, and sometimes thinks that it is like cutting the earth with a huge long sword, but after a few seconds, he feels that they are tearing the sky.

The change of senses caused by this spatial dislocation brought a trace of unconfidence to Wu Xiaoqing's words, but he still insisted on saying it.

"The civilizations we encountered in our previous two missions can be defined as normal civilizations and abnormal states encountered. It is the fusion of the environment that causes civilization to face a crisis...... Strictly speaking, they're more of a disaster, and we've been in disaster relief before. ”

"But this time it's more of a problem with civilization itself, and it's the ecology of civilization itself that has gone wrong — it's like a person is sick."

"In the face of disaster, what we can do, of course, is to get them to a safe place where the disaster can't reach, and then let them continue to survive on their own."

"But in the face of illness – if a person has some kind of tumor complication, do we just have the symptoms and think the treatment is over? Shouldn't the normal practice be to remove the tumour and inform the patient about a normal lifestyle so that he can stay away from the risk of similar diseases after recovery? ”

"Of course, the patient's own illness is serious and we have no better treatment – this can be an explanation, but it doesn't serve as a reason for us to stop. This means that we are not motivated to solve the problem itself – but we will definitely need such enthusiasm in our future work. ”

Yevgeny was obviously curious about Wu Xiaoqing's words: "Wu, then you might as well share your plan with enthusiasm." ”

Wu Xiaoqing paused, reorganized the plan that he had thought about for a long time, and after the giant island behind him began to slowly split into a large piece, he said again: "A civilization is actually a way of life......

"If we compare the earth to the earth, it is easy to conclude that the way of life of this civilization is itself pathological......"

"This kind of pathology does not mean how ignorant they are, there have been ignorant periods on the earth, and the ignorance of human beings in the Middle Ages is not less than this civilization, and the madness of World War I and World War II is actually more terrible than the Flying Man civilization......"

"But on earth, a sick way of life itself must eventually have some kind of bad enough consequence—ignorance that stagnated Europe throughout the Middle Ages, and madness that has taken man's life-destroying power to the extreme, that we are still afraid of it...... And this consequence itself is the best treatment for the pathology. ”

"It's like if a person gets sick and feels uncomfortable, then he will definitely try to avoid getting sick later."

"But if a person is sick and doesn't notice it in the slightest......"
